Which 80s Toys Were Every Gen X Kid's Dream?

Did you ever dream of cruising the neighborhood on a Big Wheel , baking tiny cakes in an Easy-Bake Oven , or ruling over the ultimate Barbie Dream House ? In this episode of Chat and Bother , Don and Eva take a nostalgic trip back to the 80s, reminiscing about the toys they desperately wanted as Gen X kids—some they got, some they didn't, and some that still haunt them to this day.

Watch on YouTube (with bonus videos!) From Tonka Trucks to backgammon sets, they explore how childhood toy wishes shaped their emotions (and maybe their need for therapy now). If you're still recovering from another Christmas of unmet gift expectations, you're not alone.
